Space Is Music In My Ears

Space Is Music In My Ears



At least space will provide music in my ears if this project is implemented. I have paid for it to happen because I think the project itself is sooooo cool, and I like the idea that this is a regular citizen project.

You can pledge your support also, just like I did. With small and big money, it is you choice.

A detailed description of the budget - and the whole project can by fund via Fundraising for Science.

Update: The project is funded!

12th of April 1961 Yuri Gagarin became the first human to ever get this fantastic view of our planet. It must have been magnificent. He did express his feelings (observations:-)) this way:

"I see Earth. It is so beautiful."

Still true, Yuri!

Congratulations Russia, with this extraordinary anniversary in our space history!

Sitting Duck

Sitting Duck?



No.

Evidently not. This is a floating duck. Ready to reproduce according to this article...if the colors are bright enough, that is. :-)

It is spring, folks!

And what a lovely excuse to showcase yet another image of the lovely sisters - The Pleiades! See how nice and blue they all are. :-)

Japan Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami - Measurements with Ny-Ålesund Super Conducting Gravimeter

Japan Tsunami Knock-out of Polar Instruments

Above you see the ocean wide tsunami wave propagation. It was not that kind of wave that knocked out the geodetic instrument situated close to the North Pole though. It was the gravitational consequences of all that mass movement, both the continental plates and the immense water body.

See the graphs from Ny-Ålesund here.

Algerian Abstract

This is actually a satellite image of Algeria consisting of multiple shots by Landsat 7. The reason why I post yet another of my own posts is that I have reasons to believe I inspired NASA to look at this image from a similar perspective, namely the arts perspective. This is their latest presentation of their own image - now with a caption and title referring to arts. :-) I'm just saying....;-)

Pain Relief in Pictures

Pain Relief In Pictures



No, I'm not referring to the sometimes fact that pretty pictures can make you forget pain. With the help of the extra, extra, super hard X-ray machine in Grenoble, we can actually (we reads the scientists who are experts on this) see how pain is handled by drugs. Pretty awesome, if you ask me. And I am just getting off my drugs after my visit to the dentist today. :-)
